David, I'm the originator of the Puts Compendium being made of 'Unobtainium" comment. Thanks for putting your pdf link up to Puts' book. I am finding the text quite helpful. Still wish I had an illustrated copy, but if wishes were horses, beggars would ride then wouldn't they! Also a thank you to everyone who sent their own links and attachements as well. Very much appreciated. Richard ________________________________ Anything Is Possible...
